Gogol doesn't identify as an ABCD because he feels disconnected from his Indian heritage and doesn't fully embrace his Bengali culture. Despite being born in America, he struggles to balance his American upbringing with his parents' traditional values and expectations. He also feels alienated from other ABCDs as he believes they are more connected to their Indian roots and have a stronger sense of cultural identity. Gogol's conflicted feelings and sense of not belonging prevent him from fully identifying as an ABCD.
